Hmm. That's very strange. The Ubuntu people should really get with

I don't know why it hasn't been updated yet...I'm a bit surprised

But compiling from source isn't difficult with LyX. You don't need
that much, and we'll help. ;-)
Not a difficulty issue -- I know how to grab a source tarball, compile

I've just gotten to the point where I have too many other things to

I know the feeling. I always have a few things lying around that I can
get as rpms, though, even for Fedora, or I have to compile from source
for some other reason, e.g. my scanner is only supported in
sane-backends cvs. But if it gets more than a few....
